Find Your Place!

FYP doesn't just stand for First Year Players – it's also come to represent the call to "Find Your Place" with our organization! While we come together for our shared love of musical theatre, we remain close as an organization because of the lifelong friendships we make while working on the shows. Our mission is to provide first-years and transfer students with a loving community that introduces them to the college experience. Both current members and alumni proudly stand behind FYP as a place of acceptance and joy within the UVA community. We are always striving to be the best CIO that we can be!

​

If you want to see our community in action, then check out this video made by Carina Clawson, CLAS '20.

We would love to have you join our family!
